Default Pinstriped my wheels......

And I think they came out great! I always wanted to do something to the wheels since I didnt have the chrome or polished lip/ or the rivets. Now just waiting for my tires to arrive. Let me know what you think.

Thanks. If your thinking about doing it, just do it. I bought a set off ebay it was like $8 shipped and its the ones that come in 4 strips per wheel. Just use some water with a little soap and line the joints and it comes out perfect. And if you dont like the way it comes out, you can always take em off.

That's exactly what I've been wanting to do but in red. I think that's really the only color I can go with being that my car is red.

I just need to paint my oem z06 wheels.

Those wheels turned out real nice. Ive been really thinking about doing my c5 zo6 wheels like that also but with a red stripe since my car is white and the brakes are red. I just cant come to the point to do that to my wheels yet since they still look new. Id like to see this setup on a white car if anyone has any pics.
